Rise in incidence of infertility-related issues, increase in adoption of hCG in pain management & weight loss, and implementation of recombinant technology are expected to propel the growth of the global hCG market.

Allied Market Research published a report, titled, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Market by Technology (Natural Source Extraction and Recombinant Technology), Therapeutic Area (Female Infertility Treatment, Male Hypogonadism, Oligospermic Treatment, and Others), and End User (Fertility Clinics, Research Institutes, and Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2017-2025. The report offers detailed insights on the top investment pockets, market size & share, driving forces & opportunities, strategic developments, and competitive landscape. According to the report, the global human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) market garnered $688 million in 2017 and is expected to reach $1,239 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2018 to 2025.

Surge in adoption of hCG in pain management & weight loss and increase in incidence of infertility-related issues drive the growth of the market. However, warnings and cautions issued by the USFDA regarding the side-effects of hCG therapy would restrain the market growth. Conversely, the implementation of recombinant technology would create new pathways for the market players in future.

Natural source extraction segment contributed more than half of the total market share in 2017 and would remain dominant throughout the forecast period. This is due to their widespread applicability in treatment of infertility issues among men and women as well as other medical conditions such as cryptorchidism. However, the recombinant technology segment would register the fastest CAGR of 8.9% from 2018 to 2025, owing to the availability of recombinant hCGs in different dose strengths as a part of individualized therapy.

Female infertility treatment segment to remain dominant by 2025

The female infertility treatment segment accounted for nearly half of the total market share in 2017. This segment is expected to maintain its dominance by 2025, owing to increase in infertility-related issues such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the male hypogonadism segment would register the fastest CAGR of 8.1% from 2018 to 2025 due to effectiveness of hCG in treatment of testosterone deficiency in men. The report also analyzes oligospermic treatment and other therapeutic areas.

Fertility clinics segment to continue its lead throughout the forecast period

Availability of a wide range of fertility treatments under a single roof along with government reimbursements has enabled the fertility clinics segment to account for more than half of the total market share in 2017. This trend is expected to continue throughout the forecast period. However, the research institutes segment would grow at the highest CAGR of 8.9% from 2018 to 2025, owing to increase in R&D activities focusing on the usage of hCG in infertility treatment and their possible treatments such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF).

Asia-Pacific is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 9.4% from 2018 to 2025 owing to increase in investments by key players for the development of hCG injectable for countering infertility issues, surge in infertile population, and rise in awareness regarding treatment options for infertility. However, North America contributed more than one-third of the total market share in 2017, owing to significant rise in infertility issues arising due to improper functioning of hCG hormone.
